Wednesday wasn’t a pretty performance. Across the pitch there was a regression from the Whitecaps going forward, something that was clear to see in the lack of penetration into the Atlanta United final third during the 1-0 home defeat.

On the plus side, after following up another home match where the Whitecaps hosted a club that was coming into BC Place on great form, the ‘Caps now get to visit a club that is struggling for form themselves. Perhaps even better – the ‘Caps head to Children’s Mercy Park to take on a Sporting KC side that lost to that same Atlanta club 3-0 just two weeks ago.
